A local shop sells Lime Cornbread cookies and I looked on All Recipes hoping to find a recipe for something similar. This recipe comes very close (it's perhaps a little sweeter). Cornmeal cookies are a refreshing change from the usual choc chip or oatmeal and the lime makes this particular recipe very special. These cookies are great for teatime to accompany a light meal or to go with all the lime/chili flavors of many Mexican meals. I'm going to experiment with decreasing the sugar a bit but otherwise these are fantastic.
These cookies are wonderful! The recipe sounds a bit strange but I made them for my office & they were an absolute hit!! I can imagine that they would be a wonderful treat with fresh strawberries after a light fish or chicken dinner!!
We loved these cookies. I have baked them twice the second time for two high school girlfriends who had come for tea. One took most home with her! I used vanilla extract instead of lime and did not ice. They were buttery and crunchy and very good. Orange is another flavor I have seen cornmeal cookies associated with. I would say: Bake and enjoy!
Very good tasty cookies. I did tweak it a bit after reading the other reviews. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour 1/2 white and decreased both butter and sugar a bit. I also used lime juice instead of extract. Very light tasty cookies I will be making these again.
These came out amazing! I used whole wheat flour and I wanted more lime flavor so I used the juice and zest of half a lime added a tsp of vanilla extract and they came out perfect! They are very delicate and I love the texture.
These cookies are appropriate for tea. They break somewhat easily but are worth the effort. One of the best cookies I've had.
I used 1 T of lime extract in the cookie as the dough didn't taste like lime at all. I didn't have lime peel so just used lime juice. Don't do it! My cookies hardly had any lime taste at all. I thought the cookies were too sweet. One T of lime juice to the confectioners sugar amount was way too runny. I don't like to select stars when I didn't follow a recipe exactly but can't get around it.
Had the taste and consistency of sweet cornbread with the perfect hint of lime which I actually enjoyed. I did however make a few alterations: 1) I used one lime's worth of juice and zest instead of lime extract in the batter 2) I used half wheat flour half all purpose to add some additional texture and flavor 3) I omitted the icing all together as it sounded too sweet for my taste.
Really really great flavor! I used fresh ground cornmeal and a 1/4 teaspoon of lime oil rather than extract. For some reason the second sheet of cookies ran and spread much more than the first and were very crumbly. Perhaps I should have chilled the dough? These would probably make fantastic "log" cookies if you made the dough into two logs and chilled them in waxed paper then sliced and sugared.
